republicans were certainly counting on it. barack obama, fooled them all. there were times during his first term and some of us were disappointed he didn't show enough backbone on the public plan option, extending bush tack cuts for the wealthiest of americans. >> that's changed now. during the second term, there is no reason for president obama to put the brakes on. he has a man date from the american people. doesn't have to worry about running for reelection again. already, the president has demonstrated more backbone than we saw in the last four years. now, it's up to him to use all of the powers of the bully pulpit to fight for the things we believe in, comprehensive immigration reform, bold action to reverse the clock on climate change. congratulations, mr. president, now go for broke. we have got your back: leo leo girard will join us tomorrow. i am on my way down to the capitol to join david shuster and jennifer

now republicans saying the electorate has changed. the obama coalition held. so how do we respond. part of the response they've come up with is this gerrymanders but also proportional electorate vote allocation by congressional district and because the congressional districts are already so gerrymandered, if this passes in the battleground states, you can have a situation where a democratic president wins the popular vote but loses the electoral vote because of the way they can split these things up. >> bill: right. you know, we've talked a lot about the ceremony yesterday about the parade. about the balls last night. we haven't really mentioned michelle obama. boy, she looked dynamite. >> what a coat. >> bill: and that dress she had -- that designer outfit. you gotta admit she was strikingly beautiful i thought yesterday. she is anyhow. >> she was great. >> bill: the president and the first lady got out of the limo twice, right? walked a little bit on pennsylvania avenue, up from freedom plaza. and then once they had made that lig dogleg in front of -- that little dogleg in front
